The kind that fits. Nobody is going to be able to tell what kind of diameter and thread pitch that is by just looking at a picture of it.

If I had to guess, probably metric. Clean it out thoroughly, take it to the hardware store, and start test fitting. If you have a thread pitch gauge you can at least figure out the pitch, and if you have a pair of calipers you could measure the inner diameter and take a pretty good stab at the bolt diameter, as well.

This is all predicated on it being a standard thread pitch of some description because the manufacturer was cheap, and not something bespoke because they were bastards.

    It's just real cheap metal. I didn't expect anyone to measure it for me. I thought there might be some common solutions to this

    It's anodized aluminum, for sure.

    There may be an off chance that someone has an example of the same/similar (most likely Chinese mass produced) item, and has already done the legwork. It's worth a shot, but unlikely.
